(From a Staff orrespondent )
LINCOI-V. Neb.. Way J5 (Special T?le
grsm.) Pnator C. A. BIMey, complainant
In the grain rate ti against the Burling
too road. u todsr cross-examined by
General Solicitor J. K Kelby, who sought
to show that the complainant had never
hipped train over any railroad and Is
therefor not entitled under the Aldrtch
bill to complain as an Interested party.
Ths witness said he never shipped, but
old grai nto local elevators. The railroad
attorney showed that train at Senator Sib
ley's home was 14 cents lower ten days
after the the. Aldricb bill reducing freight
rates U per cent went Into effect.
It was alleged by the roads that If the
complaint asking- for another reduction of
15 per cent Is sustained grain rstes will be
lower In Nebraska than In Kansas.
Senator P-thley said he thought the rates
ought to bo about the same In these states,
but possibly wheat rates In Nebraska
ought to be a little lower than In Kansas.
The witness denied that any member of
the commission had requested him to file
the complaint. Secretary McVann of the
Omaha, Oraln exchange corrected' his
former testimony regarding rates In Kan
sas and Nebraska from Nebraska points,
taeaa ralata Oat Error.
C. E- 5 pen, general freight agent of the
Burlington road west. of the Missouri river,
spent the greater part of the afternoon
pointing out mistakes In the tabulated ratea
and -comparisons offered at the previous
hearing by Mr. Sibley. He contended that
rates are made by competition In many
Instances, and such rates are often non
compensatory, and' should not be used as a
basis for remunerative rates. Ha said rates
re made by railroad men not upon a scien
tific basis, but upon experience and to
meet conditions.
General Freight Manager Monroe of the
Union Pacific testified on behalf of the
railroads agslnst a n increase In ratea.
Jf. W. Welch, a grain buyer of Deweese.
was a witness for the railroad company.
He as Id If the Burlington did not meet
competitive rates to Kansas City he would
hive to go out of business, because his
elevator and on other In the town depended
on the Burlington for shipping facilities
and upon Kansas City for the market. He
said eight cars shipped by him to Omaha
did not bring aatlsfacLory results.
The hearing will continue tomorrow.
Railway Commissioner Clarke recently
recommended the placing of an agent at the
town of Crook st on by the Northwestern

AND A WOMAN'S WORK

Nature and a woman's work com
bined have produced th frrandest
remedr for woman's ills that the
world naa ever know..
In th rood old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate stifle ring.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can vroduoe roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drv?s.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. llnkham more than
' thirty yearn ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills, mere potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydi E. PLlkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.

I- A. Dasher, a cltlsen of Minden, who
was commissioned to act as sn officer In
pursuit of Tsylor. returned this morning
after an unsuccessful effort to ftnd his
man at Wichita. Mr. Dasher, who dropoed
Into the office of Mr. Bentley between
trains, said that Taylor has been positively
traced to Enid. OkL He arrived there May
. remained drunk for two daya and left
Enid. May 14. On the day he departed,
Taylor asked for employment at a paint
and paper hanging establishment and waa
turned down. After he left Enid on the
date named he waa seen no mora. The eeo
ond letter written by Tsylor to Deputy
Wyatt on May 8 had Wichita printed on
tha envelope In which the letter was en
closed. This had caused the officers to
look for him at Wichita, though It was
realised that the clue might not be a
genuine one.
The alleged murderer la partly of Mrxl
can blood and Is able to spesk Spanish
fluently. He wss once in the restaurant
business In Mlnden and after he sold out
he was employed as a watchman. At ona
time Taylor tried to play detective, but he
waa not successful. He wss regarded as
a would-be sleuth and ha did not last long
at the detective stunt.
On the envelope In which was enclosed
the first letter sent by Tsylor to Deputy
Sheriff Wyatt was printed a request that
If it was not called for within ten days
to return to Arkansas City, the name of
the penison the letter was to be returned to

except that It waa to be returned to
Wichita. The name of the sender was also

BENKELMAN. Neb.. May 25. (Special.
On the farm of Charles H. Richardson, six
miles southwest of Bcnkelman, men have
been working for several days to Install an
Irrigation system supplied with water se
cured from a well. The well la located on
the second bottom of tha south fork of
the Republlcsn river, and la thirty feet
deep, with seventeen feet of water. The
doubt of the experiment rested In the ca
pacity of the well to furnish sufficient
water to supply a pump throwing 1.000 gal
lona of water a minute, propelled by an
elght-horse-power gasoline engine. Saturday
after repeated efforts, each cne of which,
however, waa nearer auccesa then the
former, the pump waa started with a ca
pacity of drawing T50 gallons per minute,
and It was run for two hours with no
cessation In the water supply. This sys
tem Is Intended to Irrigate forty acrea of
land from this one well, and its success
meana that Mr. Richard eon will at once
Install several more pumps on different
sites on his farm, put his engine on a
movable platform and In this way Irrlg-ate
several hundred acrea from a half dozen
wells.
The system will prove a great boon to
farmers In thla country, as tha coat of In
stalling ona of these plants, sufficient to
Irrigate eighty acres, will not exceed 1700
or two. There Is an abundance of sheet
water all over the country. Several farmers
living south of the river and also north.
In tha sandy loam soil region, are making
arrangements for Installing Ilka plants.

became necessary to cut tha big belt and
take It off to prevent Its destruction by
the water, and repairing and replacing
this after tha engine room bad bceu
cleared out took three daya, the lights
going on' Saturday evening. fait the
same waters flooded the city rvmplng

to such an extent flat It took longer to

Use upper part of tha city were drained
dry long before night set In. Fortunately,
however, tbe pumping waa resumed be
fore the lighting plant had exhausted tha
supply In the lower matna and every thing
la In good shape again. Friday night's
rain brought tha south fork of tha Ne

the Bee son Insurance agency, a fire Insur
ance rating agency for the state of Ne
braska, notified the Tork Inruranoe agents
that rates were all off and that no board
rates for risks In York and other cities
in the state would be furnished, there haa
been a merry Insurance war among the
York fire Insurance agents. Ratea on sew
dwellings have been reduced from ti.20
per each tlOO Insured to 90 cents. Tor-
rado rates are only SO cents
for five years, which Is a re
duction of 80 per cent over the former
rates maintained by local Insurance or
ganisations. York is fortunate In having Bo
fire lossee. Its volunteer fire department
Is one of the best In the United States
and even st the low rates insurance Is
written it is believed that fire Insurance
companies doing business In York will show
a nice credit at the end of each year.

Interstate Commerce commission. The rail
road company ia given twenty days to an
swer if it so desires.
The action is brought to recover dnrr.aees
cUeged to have been sustained by the Mer
riam A Holmquist company. First, on ac
count of .diacrlmlratlon charged to have
been practiced by the railroad company
against the plaintiff in that the defandant
paid to certain competitors In the grain
business certain elevation charges, and thit
tha business between the grain company
and the railroad waa conducted under cir
cumstances and conditions similar to the
business between the railroad company and
the competitors of the plaintiff, hence that
the payment of such elevation charges was
In effect the payment of a rebate, and the
plaintiff asks for Judgment in that amount,
C7.352.12. Second, that by reason cf auch
discrimination and payment of rebates the
plaintiff waa placed at a disadvantage
with Its competitors In the purchase of
grain In the markets. Third, that by rea
son thereof the plaintiff was unable to buy
the amount of grain It would have been
able to buy and thereby lost large profits
to the amount of the damages claimed.

Tbe railroad filed a demurrer on the
ground that on does not state a cause of
action.
In the opinion Judge Munger says:
"The court Is of the opinion that when It
becomes necessary to determine whether
a rebate paid to one shipper as an elevation
charge under conditions which are not sim
ilar to the conditions under the elevation
charges are refused to another, a discrim
ination la shown, and is it a question which

Colonel Power Says English Capital
Will Pipe Wyoming Oil to
Omaha.
"The Importance of these great fields of
oil said by experts to be Inexhaustible, Is
marvelous," salliColonel Bower at the Rome
hotel to a reporter for The Bee. "You
have here packing houses, smelters, manu
factories, electric light and power compan
ies, gas companies and many other great
enterprises all big consumers of fuel. You
also have to pay a high price for all your
coal. Right) In Omaha we have found a
vast field for the sale of the Wyoming oil
and the territory to which It will be dis
tributed from Omaha Is almost limitless.
Also St have a continuous slope front the
fields to Omaha, an ideal territory through
which to lay the pipe line tl miles long
to carry the oil right in to Omaha. Be
hind us we have the enthusiastically fav
orable opinions of the greatest experts in
the world on oil and also an almost limit
less capital. Tou can see the probable re
sult. -
"Sir Boverton Redwood of London, expert
In the government has examined the fields
and has written a report on them which Is
wonderful in the complete endorsement he
gives the quality of the oil and the vast
nesa of tbe supply. Dr. Poro, oil expert
In Europe, haa written a report which !s
r-rj less marvelous than the Redmood report.
Since last January the celebrated engineer,
E. Walden Vincent, has experted the fields
and he haa gone west with our party to
take them over the fields.
"Prof. C. C. Knight, formerly of the
University of Wyoming, was perhaps first
to recognize the value of these fields.
Frank Murphy of the city drilled the first
well twenty-five yrars ago. Associated
with him was Edward Rosewater, who
recognized their importance and who was
chiefly Instrumental In getting through th
Nebraska legislature a bill giving right of
eminent domain to a pipe line across Ne
braska. But this thought waa In advance
of the times.

"Fifty-five miles north of Casper are
the Power River and Salt Creek fielda.
The oil here Is Illuminating oil, with a
parrafin base. This oil also makes- the
finest lubricant In the world. Twen'y bar
rels were shipped to Genevs. Switserland,
to the big watch and clock trorkr there.
There are sixty-eight wells In this district.
'Until the completion recently of the new
Northwestern line the nearest railroad t-
the fields wss IX miles away. Now wa
are building a pipe line nine miles long
to the Northwestern traok a mile and a
half from Lander, and there the raUroaJ
will provide tank rars and all the equip
mtnt. Within ninety days the first oi
will be on the market In Omaha.
"There is no doubt In the world that C
pipe line will be built into Omaha. Seven
hundred miles Is no length at ail for
pipe line, especially through a country s
admirably adapted to laying the line. Ot .
course, the refineries will follow naturally."
BIG BOOM IX DEVEl.OPMF.vi
Remarkable Activity In Exploltlai
Ilraoarrea In Wyoming.
Wyoming is having a great boom anf
capitalists from all over are flocking thert
to put money In to the development cf tht
resources of the state. The party of capital,
ists which left Omaha Saturday for Lan

Mosea Rijur, a New York capitalist, was
In Omaba Monday, and left for Douglas,
Wyo.. where he will prepare for the de

from that town. He Is president of tho
Laperel Oil company which proposes to
pipe the gas four miles Into Douglas.
"Wyoming Is one of the Coming states
of the union and those first in the field
are sure to reap the benefits," said Mr.
Rijur. "We have a company organized with
sufficient capital to carry . on the work
which will be begun Immediately. We al
ready have contracts for furnishing t'55.0"
worth of gas annually to the town of Doug
laa for fuel for some new enterprises which
will be established there. The work will
be begun st once.
"Our work is not simply going to be
local, as we have arranged to pipe a line
from Douglas to the plant of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company at Guernsey. This
Is a Gonld enterprise snd we hope to
furnish enough fuel gas to run their plants
